Steelers - Super Bowl Bound!

The Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens last night for the third time this season, except this time, the AFC Championship was on the line. The Steelers are now headed to Tampa, FL, to meet the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.

There's an interesting back story to this match-up. When the Coach Bill Cowher resigned two years ago, the Steelers hired their first black head coach, Mike Tomlin. In doing so, they passed over two experienced Steelers' coaches, Russ Grimm and Ken Whisenhunt. As a result of being turned down for the job, both Russ and Ken left the organization and were hired by the Cardinals as the Offensive Line coach and Head Coach, respectively. Now, they'd love nothing better than to prove the Steelers' owners wrong...and everyone in Pittsburgh knows it.

This will be a record setting Super Bowl, regardless of which team wins. For the Steelers, a win would earn an NFL leading 6th Super Bowl Championship and accompanying ring. For the Cardinals, this is their first trip to the Super Bowl in history. A win would end their 61 year drought.

"Hold your hats and don't stand up!" This should be a great game.
